Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticoids inhibit the activation of NF-κB, a transcription factor that plays a key role in the inflammatory process by regulating the expression of various pro-inflammatory genes. This action is one of the mechanisms through which glucocorticoids exert their anti-inflammatory effects. Lipolysis and gluconeogenesis are effects of glucocorticoids related to metabolism, not directly to their anti-inflammatory actions.
